TONIGHT'S A CRITICAL DEADLINE FOR BILL

Lucas --

Democrats fought hard for the nomination to lead our party through November, and for your vote.

We are better for it.

Now, it's time for us to move into the next phase of this campaign -- together.

Today Democrats are united behind a clear goal: fighting to bring bold progressive change to City Hall in November to make sure our city works for all New Yorkers.

But change doesn't come easily, and your help right now is how we'll get there.

Midnight tonight is the first critical fundraising deadline of the general election. If you're ready to break from the Bloomberg era and bring bold progressive change to City Hall, then do your part now and make sure we have what it takes to win in November.

Some pundits will say our work is over and that victory in November is a given. But you and I know that this campaign is where it is today because of all we've done together -- and we can't afford to let up one bit now.

So today we recommit ourselves to the cause that started this campaign in January, and that unites us as Democrats.

We can't take a single day for granted:
